JMU music

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

Our parody of “I’m Yours” to talk about participatory music, culture, and informal learning #JMUGenMus @AdrianneJTomli1 @pereztx135

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

The differences between formal and informal music in and out of the classroom, as well as the commonalities between the two. @etobias_musiced, what other types of projects would you suggest to bring the two together? #JMUGenMus

@rnbledsoe What age would you recommend involving students in learning about music based technologies?

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@PancakeMusician I agree and I think this is a very good way of helping them!

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@hattieacademic I think it’s ok to have it occasionally but not often. The school should have a designated time for this so teachers don’t have to use class

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

How much of a difference would you say it makes in the variation of age in gender roles? @joseph_abramo #jmumustech

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

How would you help assess students who are falling behind in class while not inhibiting the other students learning? #jmumustech

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@Jesse_Rathgeber Okay, thank you!!

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@Jesse_Rathgeber Development as in maybe furthering their understanding in music software, or how to create music and furthering their creativity

How is Beyoncé’s song “Run the World” empowering or oppressive? #jmumused

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@hattieacademic I think as educators, we can; but it's also important to introduce them to all types of music; so they can have a basic understanding

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@AltonPetersjmu I think if you create a general guideline for the student to follow, you're not "giving up control" & you still have it open for creativity

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@kelly_bylica I agree!

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@makeeenzie I agree. I struggle with that as well!

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@nicolettamoss In some ways the school cirruclum & course guidelines can help enable learning, but also restrict; depending on the needs of each student

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@Jesse_Rathgeber Important for the student and their development as a musician

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@molly_cahlink I think it has helped, because with newer technologies, students are finding it easier to create music and find their creativity

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@emmiechaps I think it helps, because you're able to collaborate your efforts as a group; and create something more than you could have on your own

[Rachel Pennington @pennington_rach]

@mama_flave I think musicking sites like soundtrap help w/ creativity, because they allow you to create something, or choose from already created tracks
